it's like a game of Twister, always changing positions
(a book at the store says there's a different
one for each day) then mix in the location,
there are endless variations
we're always discovering
new ones
& as you curl sleeping, outside, in the crispness, i stand
in smallness before all i know
that nineteen years ago, they lined up
just right
because you said yes,
and tonight, they have never shined brighter.
Just a little something I wrote for T. Nineteen years ago yesterday, I got on my knee.

aww....proposals are so sweet. Glad she said yes. :)
Wow, just wow. What a touching post. Life is ever changing but love remains. So nice, Brian.
So heartfelt - darling poem.
So much wonder wrapped up in the "yes," but sometimes I think it's the every day (year after year) one that's most remarkable. May God continue to bless and keep.
May you be blessed with many, many more years filled with loving memories of the moments in time spent together, your fates entwined as one in the love of each other.
God bless.
Sweet and lovely. Love it.
I'm happy for your lasting love!
Romance sometimes works magic. Wishing you both many more years filled with it :-)
Aww glad all shined bright
And she said yes on sight
And years later still the same feeling too
Beating 50% of those who would rather fight over such things as the loo haha
The wonder of a Yes and then the work to keep it fresh. Good for you, good for her, good for your sons. Love rules!
Nineteen years, whoops you don't look old enough... grins. Love comes in many packages, my guess is that yours is one of the biggest. Happy anniversary for yesterday.

Lovely words and lovely tribute.
Awww.....once again we see the true romantic!
Awww - how romantic and wonderful! Wishing you many more years together.
Oh, you've been married longer than I thought.
How delightful. Is she still glad she said yes?
You have been writing poetry for a long time, is that what makes you so good at it?
absolutely lovely Brian:)
found your note. ;)
What a special night that was....smiling as I remember like it was yesterday. Thank you for this special poem. Love you!
And I would say yes all over again.
Aw, so sweet...happy anniversary...and many more :)
Love this... you are such an inspiration to what love can be.
An interesting poem, our position changes with age and circumstances. Greetings.
Oh, Brian.
You make me cry.
SO WONDERFUL.
Happy Anniversary.
Sweet prose, my friend. It's good to remember these special days. :)
So very sweet! And congrats!!! When you find the right person, it is wonderful!
It makes me happy to see romance alive and well after 19 years, Brian. Continue!
Love to see love... makes me feel all warm and glowing to know it is so alive and well. Shared and sharing and, you allow us to be a tiny part of it in this beautiful post.
Congratulations to you and to your wife. You are both lucky and blessed to have each other.
Wishing you both many, many more happy years together to come.
Congratulations to you both! Very sweet. Here's to many more years ahead. Cheers :)
How very sweet. Congratulations.
We have lived too long together to write love poems. It's testosterone poisoning I think with a generous helping of Menopause...but he stills brings me pretty rocks and I pick fish bait for him.
Such a romantic! You just make me happy every day, Brian. Thank you for this one... :-)
Awww, you really remember the date you asked your GF now wife to marry you?
I admit that the abstraction of the verse was difficult until you explained. Congrats on your many years of married bliss...although we all know that bliss is different on different days. At any rate she is lucky to get a poet.
lovely...may they continue to shine.
smile
How so wonderful Brian! Happy Anniversary! Poets are sentimental people so they say! Together for 19 years. How nice!
Hank
Beautiful memory and congratulations to you and your wife and family...smiles back at ya!

Gorgeous!
full of love Brian... congratulations... we are almost up to 25, and I can't believe how the years have passed so quickly and our love grows deeper and more expansive with every one.
Happy proposal anniversary! You have been married for 19 yrs?
You are so romantic-- remembering the day you asked T to marry you. That's very cool. Congrats to you both. Looks like things worked out okay ;-)
Cheers, jj
touching post, love that your keep writing little somethings each year, if that's not a gesture of love I don't know what is. Very touching.
It's nice to get a love poem, specially one like this, and I bet she was pleased! Glad she said "yes".
Hearty congrats on the poem and the milestone. The poem's a real beaut. Obviously swept the board, saw off all competition - and deserved to. Superb.
Congrats to you both!! Love the poem
Hugs

janu, this was from our anniversary...in febuary i will have known her for 20 years....at 9 months we were engaged and 3 years 3 months we were married...
Thanks for sharing so personally again. Love the twister analogy.
Neal took me on a picnic in the mountains and proposed. I didn't think he was serious because we'd been talking about this for NINE years. Then he ran to the car and got the ring and then I knew. 20 years on 6/20. 12/20 will be the 29th anniversary of our first date. Thanks for reminding me. It's been tough around here with my chronic illness.
